Title: Inter-Zone (Green) traffic Blocked By Firewall (ports 137 / 138)
Post by: superman859 on Monday 13 December 2010, 09:12:56 am
I'm using the default inter-zone traffic settings for the firewall, which shows it allows GREEN -> GREEN ANY.  However, I am logging blocked packets on the firewall, and I see this:

INPUTFW:DROP UDP (br0) 192.168.1.199:137 -> 192.168.1.255:137

It seems it is still blocking inter-zone traffic - the GREEN interface is configured on the 192.168.1.0/24 subnet.

Anyone have any ideas how to stop this?  It even happens if I turn off the inter-zone firewall altogether.  The only thing that looks different in the logs to me is that blocked traffic from the uplink state INPUT:DROP, whereas these inter-zone logs say INPUTFW:DROP.

I tried adding IP addresses specifically to the inter-zone firewall as well, setting it to allow FROM 192.168.7.199 to 192.168.7.255 on TCP+UDP ports 137/138, and it still shows that it drops them.

I've tried turning off services such as IPS as well, without any luck.  Does anyone have any idea at all?  If you look at your logs, do you see these dropped packets as well?  Just running a simple 'net view /domain' on a windows box on green will force it to make the attempt, and for me it generates the dropped packets in the live firewall log every time.

The way the hardware is configured is eth0 (which automatically runs as br0) is green, and eth1 is red, if it makes a difference.
